Wallpaper, Icon and Resolution Manager1.0.29

You can manage resolution settings with ease from the corresponding system panel, or from a dedicated display driver. However, if your work implies testing out different settings in a short time span, then Wallpaper, Icon and Resolution Manager can provide a more comfortable means of quickly making the switch.

Visual design, and portability perks

A good thing about it is that you can use it on other computers directly from a USB flash drive, without having to get it installed. As a consequence, registries are not affected by any change you make, thus making sure the computer you use it on doesn’t have to suffer later on.At launch, the application goes directly to the tray area, but without any popups, or tooltip message to let you know it’s there. However, there’s no other window, or menu, besides what the tray icon provides. This makes it easy to select specific options, without taking too much time to surf through panels, or taking up any desktop space for no reason.

Quickly change resolution settings

Interacting with the tray icon with the left mouse click allows you to pick a different resolution in the current color rate settings. Hitting the right mouse button brings up a larger panel, with several other options, besides the screen resolution.Among others, desktop icons can be quickly hidden, even though this options is triggered just as easy through the default system context menu. Moreover, there’s a quick access link which takes you to the system display properties, or better yet, desktop icon settings to control visibility of items like This PC, Network, or Recycle Bin.As the name clearly suggests, the wallpaper can also be managed from here. However, the manager is rather poor, with a menu to add multiple pictures and cycle through them, but there’s no option related to frequency, nor the possibility to create more galleries.

In conclusion

To sum it up, Wallpaper, Icon and Resolution Manager bundles up several default system display settings, but only to provide quick access to them, not bringing any real innovations. The only practical feature here is the resolution manager, allowing you to quickly select from different, supported settings under several bit rate values.
